Meet CCCB: Centre de cultura contemporànea de Barcelona

An introduction to the CCCB

The CCCB centres its activity around creative research and the production of knowledge through a series of central projects produced in-house, such as thematic exhibitions, and other live events and digital formats: international debates, the CCCB Lab, the literature platform Kosmopolis, the Beta line of activities: projects that approach the culture of the 21st century in an integrated way along with the major transformations of the digital era; the Xcèntric experimental film festival, the European Prize for Urban Public Space, the Cultural Innovation International Prize, the CCCB Archive platform and other associated proposals and festivals.

The CCCB works in a network with international institutions and agents, and is linked at the same time to artists, creators’ groups, curators and independent cultural agents from the Barcelona area, supporting their proposals to participate in their creative capital and give them visibility.

The CCCB researches new educational proposals, works on knowledge and production formats under constant critical review, and seeks methodologies based on collaboration and experimentation that materialise as open invitations for submissions and processes of dynamic promotion and mediation.
